STORY

What is Bash4Guild?

In 2014, we set out with a simple yet ambitious goal: help youth with severe and persistent mental illness transition from adolescence to adulthood.

So how did we decide to help? By throwing a party: Bash4Guild.
The purpose of the bash is twofold.

First, we are raising money that will directly benefit the youth services of Guild Incorporated, called Equilibrium, (EQ). This service team works exclusively with youth in our backyards throughout the Twin Cities, therefore the results will be tangible and observable to our community.

Second, we want to spread the message that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it is much more prevalent than most imagine, afflicting one in 17 adults and one in 10 children. Let’s all join together and smash through the stigma that permeates around mental illnesses. Countless individuals and families will be profoundly altered for the better as a result.

However, none of this is possible without you.

So now is your chance to show your support! Please attend the Bash4Guild and learn more. Then spread the word and let’s beat this together.

With earnest sincerity,

NIK & MATT

THE CAUSE
BEHIND THE BASH.

Mental health issues can interfere with your everyday life – school, work, friends and family. Building support to overcome those daily challenges can help bring out the best in you so that you can start fresh and work toward your goals.

Equilibrium (EQ) is a part of Guild Incorporated, which exists to help people with mental illness lead quality lives. Guild is a not-for-profit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing the communities we serve.

TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.

Going into our 4th Annual Bash4Guild, I couldn’t be more excited. Every year, as the event approaches, the amount of support that we get from our friends and the community is overwhelming. Count on this year being better than the last thanks to all those that have joined the efforts this year!

Nik Larsen

Event Co-Founder

I look forward to the Bash4Guild event every year to help spread the message to Twin Cities youth that mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of.

Deric Manrique

Event Attendee

Since the start, our goal with this event has always been to raise as much awareness and money for the cause while doing so in a manner that continues to bring people back on an annual basis. We are extremely grateful for everyone’s support and look forward to another successful bash this April.
